@LindaWonder @graestonewriter 100%!! I teach elementary school so I’m always trying to keep on top of trends in kidlit and middle grade and we need modern books made! for! kids! Especially if we want to solve the epidemic of kids reading below grade level. They need books that challenge them appropriately.

@lexvranick @graestonewriter Yes! Exactly. Publishers are being short-sighted in pursuit of the current trends. They want the money now. Who do they think their future readers will be if they do not nurture kids reading now?

Listen, as someone who was (probably unhealthily) obsessed with the Wicked musical in middle school and wound up reading the novel at far to young age g an age: Wicked by Gregory Maguire is NOT a children’s book. Don’t let your kids read it. No matter how much they love Ariana Grande. Do not let them read it.

@LindaWonder He took a character that was a pop culture symbol of evil and humanized her in such a beautiful way. And the way he fleshed out the world of Oz beyond L. Frank Baum’s books! Playing with and expanding on the source material! His creativity is boundless.

@lexvranick Ha no doubt. But agree. Characterization! Taking one of the most reviled villains in literature, and making her sympathetic? Genius. I grew up on the Judy Garland movie, and Maguire's book blew my mind.

@graestonewriter you’re right, but books like Wicked are very explicit and should not be in the hands of young readers unprepared for such adult content. a lot of YA books are leaning into “spice” because of social media trends. kids are being edged out of lit spaces to their detriment.

@lexvranick And there are lots of #YA books I don't think are YA. I have to believe there are many many kids who just want to read a good story. Sometimes we write to the edges.

@LindaWonder @graestonewriter ^ this!! publishers are catering to booktok, pushing content branded as YA that is not YA-friendly and leaving little space for young readers. kids need bookish spaces of their own, especially in those formative years when solace can be found in relatable characters and stories.

@graestonewriter @lexvranick Because publishers are abandoning middle grade. They know that romantasy sells so they are throwing the kids under the bus. Witness B&N cutting back, GoodReads axing the category from their awards.

@lexvranick @AlleyArticle #WriteAndWine A3: The usual escape is playing the piano. My defective thumb has curtailed that, but I try for 20 minutes several times a week. Grrr. 2.

Q3. What is your favorite way to procrastinate on your writing? Are you an artsy person? A productive procrastinator who does chores to avoid writing? Something else? #WriteAndWine @AlleyArticle
